Questions people ask
How much does it weigh?
The Pace 5 REC weighs 27.4 kg. That is 4% above the median of 26.4 kg for city e-bikes. The difference is small but real. You will notice it when lifting the bike onto a rack or carrying it up steps.
How much torque does it have?
The motor torque is not listed. The median torque for this type is 45 Nm, but that is a class figure, not this bike's figure. MathBikes cannot compare this bike on torque because the number is not published. If torque matters to you, ask the maker for it.
What speed class is it?
The speed class is not listed. The top speed is 45 km/h. That is the only speed figure published for this bike. You should confirm the class with the maker before you buy, because class affects where you can ride.
How far does it really go?
The maker claims 121 km. The MathBikes estimate is 53 km, with a band of 47 to 59 km. That estimate is 56% below the claim. The estimate uses one reference ride for every bike on the site: Tour assist, rolling terrain, mild weather, brisk pace, an 80 kg rider. It is not a measurement. Use the range calculator to see how your own weight and route change the figure.
What does it cost to run?
The price is 1799 USD. That is 38% above the median of 1299 USD for this type. Running costs depend on your electricity price and how far you ride. The battery is 733 Wh, so a full charge takes 733 Wh of energy plus charging losses. MathBikes does not publish a cost per charge for this bike. Use the cost calculator to work it out with your own numbers.
Where it falls short
The Pace 5 REC gives up value and weight to gain battery capacity. Its 733 Wh battery is 17% above the median, and its estimated range is 18% above the median. But its price is 38% above the median. You pay a lot for that extra capacity. The bike also weighs 27.4 kg, which is 4% above the median. And the maker's 121 km claim is 56% above the MathBikes estimate of 53 km. That gap is the biggest number on this page.
Who should buy it
Buy the Pace 5 REC if you want a step-through city bike with a large battery. The 733 Wh capacity is 17% above the median. The estimated range of 53 km is 18% above the median. Those are real advantages if you ride long distances or carry heavy loads. But you pay 1799 USD, which is 38% above the median.
- You ride long city routes and want the extra battery capacity.
- You prefer a step-through frame for easy mounting and dismounting.
- You accept the 27.4 kg weight and the 1799 USD price for the range.
Look elsewhere if you want a lighter bike or a lower price. The median weight is 26.4 kg and the median price is 1299 USD. The Pace 5 REC is above both. Also look elsewhere if you need published torque or a speed class, because neither is listed. And if the 121 km claim is what draws you, remember the estimate is 53 km. That is 56% below the claim.
